There are times when your counsellor may recommend face-to-face counselling instead of, or after, online counselling. A counsellor may recommend this:
To allow more specialized trauma counselling can be better applied to your needs;
To provide more support for clients experiencing suicidal ideation;
To provide more specialized attunement skills;
To aid in communication for those uncomfortable with digital communication;
And more…
It is important to communicate your feelings about online counselling to your counsellor so they can help get the right care for you.
